I am Caitlin and grew up in Cape Town, where I completed my Undergraduate and Honours degree in Psychology at the University of the Western Cape. I then completed my B.psych in Psychometry at the University of Stellenbosch.

I have a strong interest in helping others and being a helping hand to students. This was further strengthened during my position as a tutor at primary and tertiary level.
